Get location of a swing component

Question

I have put some JPanels into another JPanel which its\' layout is Box Layout and Y-Axis. After I have put all the panels I need to get the Y position of each added JPanel in

Answer 1

Please tell me how to get the Y position of each Jpanel from the JPanel container JPanel.

• BoxLayout accepting XxxSize (Preferred in this case) that returns its child,

• JPanel returns (0, 0) this is correct value

• this or simlair result you can get from all LayoutManager, for example built_in FlowLayout for JPanel (accepting only the PreferredSize), returns the same coordinates (0, 0)

• excepting BorderLayout then is there generated 10pixels(for W, E, N, S areas), and valid only in the case that CENTER area is used for some JComponent

• JPanel is Container and by empty JPanel by defualt returns zero size on the screen,

• JPanel can to returns proper coordinates if is there any JComponent or you override XxxSize in the JPanel constructor
